I like it, but personally prefer the Sexual Amber fragrance over the Chocolate Amber.

I have not tried the Rainkissed Leaves, but will give it a sniff next time I stop into B&BW.

I like the smell of Chocolate Amber, especially after it settles down. It goes from being a very sweet chocolate to being a dry cocoa powder. Unfortunately it is being discontinued after the semiannual sale (already underway).

Rainkissed Leaves is nice; I get mainly lily of the valley. I don't know if it is something that I will wear, but it is light and cool.

(In the interest of full disclosure, I will mention that I work part-time at a Bath & Body Works store.)

Sensual Amber is probably easier to wear; it has been mentioned here before that it smells quite a bit like Hanae Mori for Men.

i adore Bath and Body Works. i feel they are amazing and the Semi Annuaal Sale is to die for. I spend about 100 bucks every 6 months and always am satisfied. I think their mens line is lame though

I'm not crazy about the B&BW men's line. But I think the CO Bigelow Elixir Black that they sell is very nice. My partner likes it and it smells great on him.

I found this thread while doing a search on Sensual Amber. I just returned from a friend's house that had Sensual Amber hand soap, and I think it smelled exactly like Rive Gauche PH. It was confusing because I knew I didn't wear RG tonight but kept smelling it on me.

I have never smelled Hanae Mori but I have a sample that I'll have to check out.

My local BBW was well picked over following their giant sale, but I was able to grab a 30ml of Vanilla Noir for $4.50. It's not bad for a vanilla, and actually better than the Montale Vanille Absolu I bought blind on eBay.

I tried the Sensual Amber, and it impressed me as a slightly cruder version of Charles Jourdan The Parfum. I'd be curious to know what the chocolate amber is like, but I already have a few frags that provide a chocolate quality, and which I like, so I've decided not to blind buy this one.

I only have the shower gel of Chocolate Amber and Rainkissed Leaves and love them both. Too bad the Chocolate Amber is discontinued (and I missed the memo) because I did not buy a back up. I like to shower with it when I am going to wear amber based fragrances.

I have not tried the Sensual Amber. I guess I am going to BBW tomorrow!
